mm: slub: disable KMSAN when checking the padding bytes

Even though the KMSAN warnings generated by memchr_inv() are suppressed by
metadata_access_enable(), its return value may still be poisoned.

The reason is that the last iteration of memchr_inv() returns `*start !=
value ?  start : NULL`, where *start is poisoned.  Because of this,
somewhat counterintuitively, the shadow value computed by
visitSelectInst() is equal to `(uintptr_t)start`.

One possibility to fix this, since the intention behind guarding
memchr_inv() behind metadata_access_enable() is to touch poisoned metadata
without triggering KMSAN, is to unpoison its return value.  However, this
approach is too fragile.  So simply disable the KMSAN checks in the
respective functions.
